Hello, I'm Michaela! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about supporting Clients through the many challenges, triumphs and transitions of life in a way that feels safe and approachable.
My approach to therapy is Client centered, strengths based and solution focused. My aim is to always meet people where they are at and to use my background in Clinical Social Work to approach therapy with a well rounded lens that considers the many systems and environments we all live in.
I communicate in the reply as I do in my personal life; with kindness, respect, humor and direction. When I am in a therapeutic relationship with someone I would hope they come to feel supported and challenged.

I communicate with kindness, respect, humor, and direction. When I am in a therapeutic relationship with someone, I would hope they come to feel supported and challenged. It is my goal to foster an environment where my Clients can show up as their whole selves, speak openly and without a filter, enjoy moments of comedic relief, and experience a dynamic that feels genuine.
